Amari Cooper WR | LV
Cowboys' Amari Cooper: Bounces back in big way
Cooper caught four of six targets for 121 yards in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Eagles.
The Cowboys' passing game re-discovered its early season form, and as a result Cooper posted his best yardage total since Week 4 while tying Michael Gallup for the team lead on the afternoon, just one week after he managed a miserable three scrimmage yards against the 49ers. Cooper has now topped 1,000 receiving yards for the third straight season and the fifth time in his career, and he's 117 yards shy of setting a new career high heading into Week 17's clash with the Giants, as both teams remain alive in the hunt for the NFC East title.

CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Finds end zone twice against Eagles
Lamb caught three of five targets for 65 yards and a touchdown and added a second TD on a 19-yard carry in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Eagles.
While he managed only about half of the yardage Michael Gallup or Amari Cooper did through the air, Lamb made up for it with his fourth-quarter touchdown run, capping the scoring in the rout. The rookie has now scored seven TDs on the season -- five receiving, one rushing and one on last week's return of an onside kick -- and he needs 108 more receiving yards for 1,000 on the year. Lamb will take aim at that milestone in Week 17's clash with the Giants, as both teams remain alive in the hunt for the NFC East title.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Packers' Davante Adams: Torches Titans for three TDs
Adams racked up 11 receptions (12 targets) for 142 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 40-14 rout of the Titans.
Sleet, snow and the Titans' secondary could not stop Adams from posting yet another monster fantasy performance on the national stage. The 28-year-old didn't even have his stats boosted by a particular big play, as his game high of a 32-yard reception showed that he and Aaron Rodgers consistently picked up big chunks of yardage throughout the cold winter night. This was Adams' seventh game with at least 100 yards and a touchdown this season, and he accomplished that in just 13 contests as a result of missing two games to injury. If it wasn't for Alvin Kamara's ridiculous six-touchdown game, Adams would likely be named NFC Player of the Week. The good news for those hoping to get another chance to use the star wideout this regular season is that the Seahawks were also victors in Week 16, which gives the Packers something to play for (No. 1 seed and a bye) next week against the Bears.

Michael Gallup WR | WAS
Cowboys' Michael Gallup: Busts out in big win
Gallup caught six of eight targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Eagles.
The Cowboys passing game re-discovered its early-season form in this one, and Gallup capitalized with his most productive outing of the season, leading Dallas in catches and targets while tying Amari Cooper for the team lead in receiving yards. It's been a mostly disappointing campaign overall for Gallup, but the third-year wideout could wipe all that away with another big effort in Week 17's clash with the Giants, as both teams remain alive in the hunt for the NFC East title.

Jalen Reagor WR | MIA
Eagles' Jalen Reagor: Stifled in Sunday's loss
Reagor caught three of seven targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Cowboys.
He tied Zach Ertz for the team lead in targets as the Eagles tried desperately to make a comeback in the second half, but Reagor wasn't able to do much with the volume. The rookie has failed to reach 50 receiving yards in five straight games, posting a poor 14-170-0 line on 27 targets over that stretch, and he has yet to show much chemistry with Jalen Hurts. The duo will have one more chance to get on the same page in 2020 during next week's clash with a Washington team that needs to win to lock up the NFC East title.
-
Mike Williams WR | LAC
Chargers' Mike Williams: Quiet day despite big volume
Williams caught four of 10 targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Broncos.
With Keenan Allen (hamstring) sidelined, Williams led the Chargers in receiving yards and tied Stephen Anderson for the lead in catches, but it was still an overall mediocre performance given his season-high target volume. Williams also hasn't found the end zone since Week 11, a slump he'll look to snap in the Chargers' finale next week against a Kansas City team that could be resting key personnel after clinching the AFC's No. 1 seed.

Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE
Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Can't capitalize on big volume
Jeudy caught six of 15 targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Chargers.
The rookie receiver struggled with drops all afternoon, including one in the end zone in the third quarter that proved to be crucial in a game decided by a field goal. The 15 targets were a season high for Jeudy, but it wasn't enough to snap him out of his prolonged slump -- over his last seven games, he has only a 17-232-0 line despite a whopping 45 targets. Jeudy will try to close out his first NFL campaign on a high note in Week 17 against the Raiders.

Steven Sims WR | ARI
Football Team's Steven Sims: Targeted six times
Sims caught four of six targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to Carolina.
Sims handled a larger-than-usual role with Terry McLaurin (ankle) inactive, but it was Cam Sims who led the team's wideouts with nine targets. Any fantasy upside for Steven in Week 17 depends on McLaurin missing another game, which won't necessarily happen.

Cam Sims WR | CAR
Football Team's Cam Sims: Gets nine targets
Sims caught three of nine targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to Carolina.
With Terry McLaurin (ankle) inactive, Sims led Washington wideouts in targets, though TE Logan Thomas (12) and RB J.D. McKissic (10) both saw more. Apart from his 50-yard gain on a Dwayne Haskins scramble drill in the third quarter, Sims mostly had a tough go of it, producing just 19 yards on his other eight targets. He nearly made a diving catch for a 43-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter, but the ball bounced out of his hands. This was the third time in four weeks Sims has drawn eight or more targets, so he could rebound against the slumping Eagles defense Week 17, especially if McLaurin is out again and/or QB Alex Smith (ankle) is able to return.

Robert Woods WR | PIT
Rams' Robert Woods: Contributes 49 scrimmage yards
Woods caught four of nine targets for 48 yards and gained one yard on two carries during Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Seahawks.
The wideout finished second on the team in targets on the day but struggled to connect with Jared Goff (thumb), who continued a poor recent run of form. Woods did little of note outside of his long gain of 19 yards and is now averaging just 45.3 yards per game over the last three despite facing two of the most porous pass defenses in the NFL during that stretch. Woods is at an even 900 receiving yards for the season and will look to add to his numbers next Sunday in a favorable matchup against the Cardinals.
